Already confirmed: Civil liberties under attack!

Many
activists have been put under house arrest until the end of the COP21

On 24th
November blog's article The
ruthless elites construct the new enemies,
a few days after Paris attacks, it was pointed that “...
how the new jihadist barbarians are useful to the elites in our era?
[...] they can apply further suppression measures inside the Western
societies without significant resistance, in order to justify the
elimination of - the excessively advertised in the past - civil
liberties. Progressively, no one would be allowed to protest against
austerity in the name of security from terror attacks.”

Only a few
days later, on the occasion of the COP21 climate change summit, which
by coincidence(?) took place in Paris, less than a month from the
terror attacks, the French authorities proceeded in unprecedented
security measures, including activists who had nothing to do with
terrorism! From telesurtv.net
we discovered that:

French
Prime Minister Manuel Valls confirmed that close to 2,000 police
raids have been carried out during the nation’s state of
emergency, resulting in 210 people being taken into custody and
276 others being placed under house arrest. A further 1,000 people
have been prohibited from entering French territory, Valls told
lawmakers.

France’s
state of emergency includes the possibility of 24-hour police
raids conducted without a warrant or any other kind of judicial
control. Police have also been granted the ability to seize
all information found on computers, as well as other technological
devices and equipment.

[...]

The state
of emergency also enables authorities to detain or place people
under house arrest whose “behavior can seriously be
considered a threat to security and public order.”

Human
rights organizations have pointed to the fact that authorities are
also targeting members of social movements that have absolutely no
link to jidhadist groups.

Last weekend for example, 26
environmental activists were placed under house arrest until the
end of the COP21 climate change summit, which began in the French
capítal on Monday. Human rights groups, including the Ligue des
Droits de l'Homme, condemned the move, saying the Ministry of
Interior was “losing its nerves” by
“conflating the social movement with terrorism.”
The organization has also condemned the state of emergency for
intimidating “democratic mobilizations”
by restricting the right to demonstrate peacefully.

A major
event has "conveniently" organized at the same place and in
time very close to the Paris massacre. With the pictures of absolute
terror, fresh in the minds of people, who would dare to protest
against these violations by the police?

And another
proof of the "retirement" of the French society to fight
for its rights and promote progressive thought, as its historic
heritage imposes, is the fact that the Far-Right of Le Pen triumphed in the French local elections.
